I have the same problem.... It was working yesterday, and after emerge world, it simply stopped working... same error as stated above... how would I go about fixing this?

thank you..
and Why after finally getting it to work, would there be a problem in this package?
thank you

I fixed mine by reading the guide in this post.

Read that, and give it a try, and if you already have the nvidia module loading dont echo it into the file again, i got a weird result out of double loading it.
